目的：描述针对大学生的人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗患者援助计划（PAP）的开发和实施，并获取有关访问该计划并完成该系列的人数的信息。设置：德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索大学学生健康诊所药房，2011年秋季-2014年春季。实践描述：位于大学学生健康诊所内的社区药房，为保险不足的学生群体提供服务。现有的证据表明，在社区药房使用PAP的好处，但在没有保险的人群中使用PAP接种疫苗并不具体，投保不足的西班牙裔学生群体。在社区环境中实施这一独特的HPV疫苗计划旨在提高认识，获得和rates.Main结果measures：主要措施包括用于实施HPV疫苗计划的需求评估问卷的结果。实施后，利用数据收集的学生谁合格，并参加了HPV PAP和谁完成了HPV series.Results的学生人数：从需求评估的初步数据表明，大部分（72.1%，n = 80）的学生不明白HPV是如何传播的。共有89名学生有资格参加优先行动计划。大多数是妇女（81%）。共有71名学生（79.8%）接受了他们的第二剂，43（48.3%）完成了series.Conclusion：虽然药剂师继续提供疫苗服务，少数民族，如西班牙裔人口继续免疫不足。学生可能没有采取适当的预防措施来预防HPV的感染。出于这些原因，这种HPV疫苗计划等服务是必要的。药剂师需要继续教育和宣传疫苗的重要性及其如何预防疾病。
Objective: To describe the development and implementation of a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine patient assistance program (PAP) for university students, and to acquire information on the number who accessed the program and completed the series.Setting: University of Texas at El Paso University Student Health Clinic Pharmacy, Fall 2011-Spring 2014.Practice description: A community pharmacy located within the university student health clinic providing services to an underinsured student population.Practice innovation: Existing evidence shows the benefit of using PAP in community pharmacies but is nonspecific regarding the use of PAP for vaccines in an uninsured and underinsured Hispanic student population. The implementation of this unique HPV vaccine program in a community setting aims to increase awareness, access, and rates.Main outcome measures: Primary measures included results from a needs-assessment questionnaire that were used to implement the HPV vaccine program. After implementation, utilization data were collected on the number of students who qualified and enrolled in the HPV PAP and the number of students who completed the HPV series.Results: The preliminary data from a needs assessment indicated that a majority (72.1%, n = 80) of students did not understand how HPV is transmitted. A total of 89 students qualified for PAP. The majority were women (81%). A total of 71 students (79.8%) received their second dose and 43 (48.3%) completed the series.Conclusion: Although pharmacists continue to provide vaccine services, minorities such as the Hispanic population continue to be underimmunized. Students may not be taking the proper precautions to prevent the acquisition of HPV. For these reasons services such as this HPV vaccine program are warranted. Pharmacists need to continue to educate and advocate on the importance of vaccines and how they prevent disease.
